Do you remember the feeling of a first snow when you were a kid? I was a geeker for that kind of stuff. As a child, I can remember rushing to all of the different windows in the house to see who got the best visit from Jack Frost...which did little more than only point toward the mere possibility that the environment could sustain snow. There was more than one winter where I used the recycle bin to make bricks for an igloo! Granted, I never completed a recycle-bin-brick-igloo...but the effort was there!
There was a corner near the carport at Needle Drive that used to collect snow at a much faster rate than any other part of the yard. If we were lucky, the snow would pile high enough that we could tunnel into a few feet. I swear there's a picture floating around of me as a tyke in front of that snow drift...
For the first time this season, it feels like winter has come to Boston. I think that dogs love the snow just as much as me. Snow delivers the additional blessing of covering the goose poo (yep) from our young lad's scent detection device. Which means, he can go off leash during the daylight!
Warmer weather and rain is in the 10-day forecast. It sounds like the snow will be gone just as quickly as it arrived. Until then, it's game on!
